Err:VERSION is not much of a problem, there exists software like GroupTool that is capable of ungrouping those.
I once had a detailed document about group structure, but I don't know where I found it.

Groups are strangely susceptible to corruption. No clue why. I'd like to blame it on TI's crappy code

The best idea is to write your own routines, definitely. (or copy them from the internet, UTI has threads full of them and nobody will mind if you credit the right people)
As long as you keep those pieces of code on the same page as the data, no issues will arise.

... and then Mapar busted the bubble. Sadly, the boot code (as the name says, this piece of code is responsible for booting up the machine) will never let you boot over USB. You can't modify the boot code, it's written on normal ROM, not EEPROM. The reverse is possible: you can make a PC boot off a calculator, in theory

Mmhh... It might be a good idea only to feature active projects or 'fresh' programs. Even if it's only for manageability. And en plus, active stuff draws more people.

Then we could have a system with laureates: e.g. three programs win, but no further distinction is made.

That's exactly what I meant.

No. It's just the trip that us 'older'* scouts make every three years. This time it happens to be Corsica.
* Read: around 14-15-16-17 year old, it's the one-to-oldest group.

Mmh, my argumentation totally missed its mark. I should proofread better next time Actually, I just wanted to say that having two awards for basically the same thing does not make sense, and certainly not if one of them is well-established.

'Tis still a separated world, TI-Bank/yAronet and the anglophone community... Most of the competent Dutch-speaking members of ti-wereld.nl have signed up on at least one American forum. But maybe this has to do with the fact that the ti-wereld community alone is not capable of maintaining itself, something TI-Bank does easily. I also have a suspicion that all the top-notch stuff made in the French community is done by people active in both. (this is just an observation, I'm not being contemptuous) There are exceptions on yAronet, of course. Practically the whole nSpire cracking project was done there. (I read a post from critor iirc where he stated that most people on TI-Bank were no developers. I can't remember which thread. (it was on TI-Bank) That doesn't stop it from being a big and helpful forum, though.  I got some of my help there, in the beginning, by reading their help section) So what do you think? Is it a good thing that the 'centre of gravity' of developers lies in the American fora, or should we diversify? EDIT: or do you totally disagree about my 'observation'. It's, of course, partly due to what I judge to be revolutionary.

I think it's OK to organize a POTM, but we need advertisement on other TI sites for it to work. Do we have some entering criterion? For example, more than n posts in the dev thread/subforum, more than n unique people posted in the development thread, featured on ticalc (that's the ticalc POTY requirement if I'm not mistaken), featured on omnimaga/uti/maxcoderz... (i.e. have a subforum of your own),... These are just possibilities, I'm not giving my opinion there. Replicating the POTY is, IMHO, not a good idea. 1. Competing with ticalc doesn't really make sense. Most non-developer people end up there on a search (as did I, a few years ago), and it would not have the same 'weight' in download stats as it has when winning the ticalc POTY. (for the simple reason that we are not ticalc, the archive is not here) Ticalc.org has no POTM, so that's safe(r). 2.Certainly in the beginning, the omnimaga POTY would not be the same 'badge of honour' to the author. Ticalc.org's requirements for featuring, more specifically POTY entry, are very high. If we want to outperform ticalc, we'll need higher standards. I understand from DJ's post that that is the opposite of our goal. One con to the POTM award: it will be a bitch to moderate. Maybe it's better to organize it bimestrially, or even every 3 months. Just my two cents

I'll be in Corsica with the local scouts for about two weeks. We leave on sunday. Just so you know, and so you don't start thinking I got into a SirCmpwn-like situation
